The words "a" and "an" are known as indefinite articles. They do not define a specifictity to the noun in the sentence. Therefore, the use is not required... In English, of course. Oh, yeah! The exercise was to translate it to English. I guess the OTHER correct answer was omitted from the database. Typical oversight!!?

The word UMUM has many meanings. One is GENERAL. i.e.... Dokter Umum, Hospital Umum, Pasar Umum...

Native Indonesian here. We rarely use the term sekolah umum and when we do I believe it refers to schools that are not reserved for children with special needs, or religious schools. Public school or state school would be better translated as sekolah negeri.

It would be better to teach the school types like SMA. I've never dealt with a "sekolah umum".
